As SV is currently running a User Choice Awards celebrating user fiction in general on the site, I decided that GSRP should hold its own, more focused awards. This means a celebration of all the particular traditions of our community, which of course includes a category for games which never made it past turn 2.
Without further ado, here are the categories-
Best Completed GSRP
Best Historical Start GSRP
Best Alt History GSRP
Best Sci-Fi GSRP
Best Fantasy GSRP
Best Two Turn Wonder GSRP
Best Character GSRP
Category Clarifications
What is a "Completed" GSRP?
A game that the GM confirms is finished, has some sort of wrap up, and completed at least 5 turns.
What is the difference between a Historical Start and Alt History GSRP?
A Historical Start is a game that begins from an established point in history without deviations to the starting situation. An Alt History is one where the very premise of the game diverges from actual history.
What exactly is entailed by "Two Turn Wonder"?
A game that dies before running more than two complete turns. It can have run two, one, or zero turns.
Nomination process
First we will narrow down the process to five nominees from each category. If a game is nominated for multiple categories, it will only move on to the nomination phase in the category in which it had the highest number of votes. The nomination phase will end December 10 at midnight CST. The voting phase will follow and be completed at the end of the year.
People may nominate up to five games per category. People may not nominate games they GMed or Co-GMed.
All nominees must be games run in the GSRP subforum on SV. Since this is the first holding of the awards, any game on the sub-forum can be nominated, rather than just those within a particular recent time frame.
